Create large bootable USB stick
Jaunty (9.04) onwards provide USB Startup Disk Creator system tool. It uses the usb-creator to create USB bootable startup disk on USB drive. You may also start the application from the terminal with :
gksudo usb-creator-gtk
Then choose the desired ubuntu .iso image, the usb device you want to use, erase the disk and set the degree of persistence (the slider) you need. Note that the maximum space that can be allocated for persistence is limited to 4GB (maximum file size on a FAT32 filesystem is 4GB). This limit can be overcome and is explained later on. If you do want a larger degree of persistence, set persistence to 128mb for now and continue. Hit Make Startup Disk and wait till it finishes. You are now in possession of a USB drive that can be used to run/install ubuntu on most computers. Persistence gives you the freedom to save changes, in the form of settings or files etc, during the live session and the changes are available the next time you boot via the usb drive.
